Program director in KenyaNorah Amisi Otondo

Norah is from Western Kenya. She is a high school teacher by profession and in the process of completing her MA in counseling.

Norah’s passion is working with fistula survivors. Having suffered the devastating effects of fistula herself, she understands intimately the importance of reintegration to family and community. Her fistula was the result of a surgical complication and she lived with it for a year during which she underwent multiple surgeries to repair the damage. Norah spends hours, in addition to her teaching, helping other survivors regain their self-esteem and independence through community based support groups and income generating activities.

Unable to have children of her own, her small home is filled to the brim with nieces, nephews and an assortment of school kids who have no safe home of their own. Her house is filled with an abundance of love and laughter and all are welcome.
